Hi all, I have been searching this amazing forum I have just discovered and gotten part of the way to where I need to be....
In my Glasgow flat I replaced my beige dilapidated Terraneo 600 intercom phone with a Fermax Loft 3399 a couple of years ago and it lets me buzz visitors in, and the buzzer works- but I never could hear anyone when they try to tell me who they are and they couldn't hear me. I was fine with it but my wife is fed up of it and doesn't think it is safe.
Upon searching about this original handset I read on an archived thread that: "Disclaimer - I think Terraneos used to be powered through the handset carbon microphone to the speech panel. Newer Bell phones have an different sort of microphone and may not work with the Terraneo panel, in which case you will not get any speech in any direction. But you should be able to get buzz and lock."
Also I read that a Universal Comelit phone will work... I was wondering if anyone could confirm this- or if there was any other type of universal phone that might work to allow visitors to identify themselves when they buzz my flat. Thank you!!
Here is the old Terraneo wiring pic I took years ago in the initial replacement. We are in an 8 flat tenement.
